ABSTRACT
Objective:The aim of the study was to develop a transcultural adaptation of Scrub Practitioners ′ List of Intraoperative Non-technical Skills to Chinese. Methods:The translation of SPLINTS was based on the Brislin ′s translation model and expert consultation were conducted for cultural adaptation before the Chinese version was accomplished. The content validity of Chinese version scale was evaluated by Delphi method. The applicability and observer reliability of the tool was tested by behavioral observation of simulate videos. Results:The positive coefficients of experts in the first and second rounds were both 100% and the authority coefficients were 0.802 and 0.906 respectively. The concordancy coefficients of expert Kendall were 0.282-0.433( P<0.05). The results of Delphi expert consultation showed that the average content validity index (S-CVI/Ave) of the scale level was 0.93, and the item level (I-CVI) content validity index was 0.87-1.00. The rater training showed that the intra-observer reliability was 0.75-0.96 and inter-observer reliability (Kendall W) was 0.502-0.557( P<0.01). Conclusion:The cross-cultural adaptation of SPLINTS-Chinese version is scientific and reliable. The content validation and observer reliability are in-line with scale evaluation criteria. Further psychometric measurement can be conducted in the group of scrub nurses in the operating room.
ABSTRACT
The concept and the importance of non-technical skills, relevant influence factors and assessment tools were reviewed. Introduction of non-technical skills measuring tool used at home and abroad from object, content, evaluation method, the result and the application status, then puts forward thinking for the lack of assessment tools. To evaluate the present situation of non-technical skills of the surgical team and members as well as to offer suggestion to improve training effect.

ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the status of self-management of elderly patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) in Xinjiang Region,and to explore the effects of different demographic factors on self-management.Methods A total of 704 patients with chronic heart failure were randomly selected from Urumqi,Kashgar,Khotan,Changji,Shihezi,Yili Hazakh in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region via convenience sampling method and were investigated using heart failure self-management scale.Results The total score of self-management of chronic heart failure elderly patients was(47.6±11.1) and scoring rate was 59.5％.There were statistically significant differences(P＜0.01) in self-management score among patients with different ethnicity,religion,self-care ability,per capita income.The influencing factors of self-management were self-care ability,NYHA class and per capita monthly income(P＜0.05).Conclusion The overall level of self-management of elderly patients with chronic heart failure in Xinjiang Region is low,and self-management is affected by self-care ability,NYHA class and per capita monthly income.Tailored culture-based education should be provided to improve patients' self-management.
